In addition to miles of coastline, one-of-a kind geographic features, and historical charm, the Outer Banks is the ideal place to find a unique and accommodating vacation rental. As you plan your trip to North Carolina’s barrier islands, take a little time to find the perfect home away from home.

The Outer Banks of North Carolina is a popular destination for families; each year brings thousands of visitors to the thin strip of coast for weeks of sun, fun, and activity. While many motels are seen along Currituck and Dare counties, unless you make reservations well in advance chances are you will see only “No Vacancy” signs as you drive. The best alternative, especially for an extended stay, is to rent a home on the beach.

Reserve a four bedroom oceanfront property and bring the whole family along, as there will definitely be enough space to accommodate everyone’s needs. Bunk beds will separate the kids at night, and an entertainment room will supply fun for everyone after the sun goes down. An elevated observation room will provide spectacular views, and you just might be able to spot one of the many lighthouses that dot the coast.

Many vacation rentals here come with outdoor grills, so that guest may enjoy a sunset cookout rather than wait in long lines at area restaurants. Nearby grocery stores offer the essentials, but for a classy dining experience one may also visit Bacchus Wine and Cheese in Currituck or the Knotts Island Market for gourmet items. Frog Island Seafood Company sells the best of the Chesapeake Bay, so families can enjoy an old fashioned fish fry or crab boil on the deck of their vacation home.

The Outer Banks were meant to be enjoyed by many, so head here for a family reunion or bring along the entire family and experience this outdoor wonderland as a large, cohesive group. No more staying in a large hotel where the family is spread out in different rooms and constantly running from room to room to simply plan a morning activity. In an Outer Banks vacation rental, everyone can gather in the large living room and discuss the day’s activities without feeling cramped or disjointed. And with plenty of bedrooms and space for everyone to move about freely, you are in for a much more pleasant, upbeat vacation than you ever imagined.

A two bedroom might be a perfect fit for a small group of travelers, and a cottage stocked with everything from a hairdryer to extra towels will make packing less of a chore. Add close proximity to prime bird-watching spots or hang gliding take-off points, and this vacation will be virtually stress and traffic-free.
